ICYMI: RPS Online surveys coming soon to the full assessment community
ORPTS and the RPS Online Project Team extend our sincere thanks to the hundreds of assessors who volunteered for the RPS Online User Groups. Your help has been invaluable!
As the development of RPS Online moves forward, we want to extend the opportunity to participate in related surveys to the entire assessment community.
New RPS Online Constituents Group
The updated survey process will be overseen by a new RPS Online Constituents Group in conjunction with ORPTS and the Project Team. The Constituents Group is comprised of 12 members: six assessors and six county directors from throughout the state.
After consulting with the Constituents Group on future surveys, ORPTS will announce them in the Assessment Community Weekly newsletter. You’ll then have two weeks to take each survey.
The Constituents Group will review the results of the surveys and make recommendations to ORPTS and the Project Team.
Thank you in advance for participating in the surveys. Your input will be crucial to the ongoing development of RPS Online.

Verify your sales inventory data
In order to accurately create our products (equalization rates, RARs, etc.), we rely on you to provide us accurate inventory data. Therefore, be sure to verify your inventory data throughout the year. In addition, be sure to verify it at the time of sale and make sure it is correct on your roll before it is filed.
